I thought that, in terms of "swing voters" for this issue, Ellen's recent ad was simple but personal and powerful. These run-of-the mill negative ads, while necessary to help our cause, won't really change people's minds an awful lot. Though every effort counts!

Its hard to see Yes on 8 yard signs, especially across the street from my children's school. Honestly, standing there with all of the other parents and a sign that says "protect marriage" when I am married to my wife made me feel like a second class citizen. Protect it from what? How does my marriage harm theirs????? It's easy to say youre against seperate but equal treatment, but when you actually FEEL it, that you are not being treated equal when its the LAW, the ad above is a welcome perspective in the fight against Prop 8.
